Would a bb do much at all? If i caught someone in that position i dont think a bb would be persuasive enough
I'm not a thief, but I would probably stop whatever I was doing if I started getting pelted with BBs. Lol
Also not a thief but I've seen what a BB does to flesh. Definitely in the "stop what you're doing immediately" category.
Stings like a motherfucker, can break skin depending on the BB material and velocity. It also sends a clear message; I can see and hit you from here.
I use .177cal steels at 400fps. Unless i could pop a nut, it would probably just annoy them
With the right bb gun, you shoot them in the cheek and they get to spit out the BB. Even airsoft guns can embed into your skin, lots of videos with people "popping a pimple" - squeezing out a bb from their forehead.
Umarex boy here. Airsoft is for kids
Kool. Doesn't change the fact that it can indeed hurt someone, and a propper bb gun will do damage.
Lol. Lmao even. Have you seen airsoft players?
Yep. Kid.
OK grandpa time for your meds.
It can potentially take out an eye too. You won't "shoot your eye out" like the kid is warned in a Christmas Story, but you could definitely shoot someone else's eye out.
Bro, bb guns shoot through metal buckets. My friends and I used to shoot bb guns at all sorts of objects. So yes. You could absolutely fuck someone up with a bb gun.
Well you would also become aware that someone is watching you and not approving of what you are up to.
Unless they're going to kill you for whatever they want to steal that will usually deter them.
"I very much approve of what you are doing but I also like shooting people with BB guns. Please feel free to carry on with whatever you are doing while I shoot you in various limbs."
It depends. A bed and bath is pretty relaxing. You'll probably end up being friends afterwards.
What's a bb?
Small metal ball
Big butt
bb is probably short for ball bearing, which is basically just a small hardened metal ball often used in "bearings" to make it even more confusing, ball bearings, use ball bearings as their primary mode of design.
It would definitely hurt and probably get stuck in your skin
Probably get stuck in your skin?????? Probably? Have you ever shot a bb gun? That shit can go through thinner metal with ease. It can easily shoot through an aluminum bucket (both sides). I'm absolutely shocked at how many people here think bb guns are like airsoft guns. Ya'll clearly have never used a bb gun. One shoots metal balls. The other shoots plastic.
I have owned and shot many types of guns over the years including bb guns. I don't normally shoot people with bb guns so I'm not sure of the exact damage it would cause so I was vague, sorry for not writing an essay on the type of wounds it would cause.
I didn't mean my answer to come off as aggressive. Apologies if it came off that way. I was just talking to everyone here in general ha. I'm just a bit confused as to why people don't consider bb guns to be a potentially serious weapon. I'm just imaging what would happen if you were to shoot someone in the face with a bb gun. I feel like it would be game over for that person. Either permanently fucked, or killed.
Losing an eye sure but I think death is a bit far for a bb gun (I have done 0 research) but maybe a pellet gun where the projectiles are more bullet shaped maybe. It also depends on how the gun operates and how fast it sends the bbs
Edit: 4 deaths per year in the US I stand corrected
Ha that's because everyone just buys real guns now.
I wonder what the number would be if in included people shot by other people when brandishing a bb gun... maybe not
fun fact, human skin has this weird property of being incredibly, soft. So more than likely it would expend all of its energy moving your skin around, and then just bounce off leaving a pretty bad bruise or something.
It'd fuck you up if it hit you in the eye though, for example.
no. bb's penetrate skin, can confirm. had to have one pulled out of arm muscle meat. stupid fucking brother
i could see it going either way, depending on where it hits, and how far away it was. Projectile physics is weird, and impact physics are even weirder.
yeah I got it from a pump action bb rifle, into the meaty part of the bicep. Of all my siblings, my youngest brother seemed to be the most willing to maim and torture us for his own entertainment.
I stared at this wondering what a BTS gun was.
I mean they've got dynamite already so...
I read BTS gun and that got me really confused, like a ray that shoots kpop at the target lol
Don't underestimate musical weaponry.
